So Far Behind And very Busy

 Happy Holidays Everyone: I have been decorating in and out of the home here, I have also taken a few class's and a cookie class for making Christmas cookies, I met so many amazing people at the cookie class, all had such great humor and kindness, we did share the cookies with each other and took home a dozen cookies in a sweet tin.


                     I am behind in posting about the Advent Box from Kitten Stitcher, days, 5-6-7 and 8

                                      First up is day 5 is Samplers Not Forgotten I love this design




                                  Up Next is day 6 Heartstring Samplery, a very sweet design
                                             I think each motif would make sweet ornaments


Day 7 is by Hello From Liz
I want to stitch this soon but change out many of the color threads



                                      Day 8 is a sweet little bird kit from Dames of The Needle
               I would like to make several of these in different color fabrics for my trees next year




I want to show you the wall Mike put up in the bedroom, we will be looking for a log bed and other log                                              furniture after the first of the year for this lovely wall
                       so sorry about the wrinkle in the bedspread, Mikey tried to be in the photo


It has been very busy in the little town of Annandale, Mn. we will have the Christmas Train come through on this coming Saturday, it is exciting to know we will raise money and goods for the food shelf.                         Santa will be there along with a load of music food and fun.
Me and Michael are very lucky to be able to volunteer at the food shelf, we work with such amazing                                                             and kind people, we are Blessed
We have our first Christmas Party to go to this evening, then one on Tuesday, so many fun party's this                                     year for us to enjoy, I hope you all are enjoying this time of year

                                                      Merry Christmas My Dear friends
                                                                        Catherine

Such sweet designs in your advent. Methinks you are going to have lots of fun creating all these. I love your wall too. Wish we could have something similar but they frown on making 'structural' changes in an apartment.

Fun daily gifts! That wall is beautiful!

I'm enjoying seeing your Advent Box goodies, Catherine! And your new wall looks great--it will be so cozy when you find the log bed and furniture that you're looking for! Enjoy your week ♥

So many nice charts. And great that Mike's health improved to be now completing large home projects.

It’s easy to feel behind when juggling a busy schedule, but sometimes finding a moment to relax can help reset your focus. Whether it's taking a break or discovering new things, exploring an Online Vape Store in the UK can be a way to unwind. With a wide variety of products, you can find something that fits your needs and adds a little enjoyment to your routine. Just like managing your time, finding the right vape options can help you take a breather amidst the hustle and bustle.
